+
+<h3>The CaveMan class</h3>
+<p>For this example, we'll use a class CaveMan, with a property <code>discovered</code> that holds a <code>Date</code> instance, and a method <code>getName</code>.</p>
+
+<pre class="code prettyprint">YUI().use(&quot;node&quot;, &quot;json&quot;, function(Y) {
+
+function CaveMan(name,discovered) {
+    this.name       = name;
+    this.discovered = discovered;
+};
+CaveMan.prototype.getName = function () {
+    return this.name + &quot;, the cave man&quot;;
+}
+
+...</pre>
+
+
+<h3>Add <code>freeze</code> and <code>thaw</code> static methods</h3>
+<p>We'll add the methods responsible for serializing and reconstituting instances to the CaveMan class as static methods.</p>
+
+<pre class="code prettyprint">&#x2F;&#x2F; Static method to convert to a basic structure with a class identifier
+CaveMan.freeze = function (cm) {
+    return {
+        _class : &#x27;CaveMan&#x27;,
+        n : cm.name,
+        d : cm.discovered &#x2F;&#x2F; remains a Date for standard JSON serialization
+    };
+};
+
+&#x2F;&#x2F; Static method to reconstitute a CaveMan from the basic structure
+CaveMan.thaw = function (o) {
+    return new CaveMan(o.n, o.d);
+};</pre>
+
+
+<h3>Reference the methods in replacer and reviver functions</h3>
+<p>We'll create an <code>example</code> namespace to hold our moving parts.  In it, we'll add a method to pass to <code>JSON.stringify</code> that calls our custom serializer, and another method to pass to <code>JSON.parse</code> that detects the serialized structure and calls our thawing method.</p>
+
+<pre class="code prettyprint">var example = {
+    cryo : function (k,o) {
+        return (o instanceof CaveMan) ? CaveMan.freeze(o) : o;
+    },
+
+    revive : function (k,v) {
+        &#x2F;&#x2F; Check for cavemen by the _class key
+        if (v instanceof Object &amp;&amp; v._class == &#x27;CaveMan&#x27;) {
+            return CaveMan.thaw(v);
+        }
+        &#x2F;&#x2F; default to returning the value unaltered
+        return v;
+    }
+};</pre>
+
+
+<h3>The data to be serialized</h3>
+<p>We'll create a CaveMan instance and nest it in another object structure to illustrate how the thawing process still operates normally for all other data.</p>
+<pre class="code prettyprint">example.data = {
+    count : 1,
+    type  : &#x27;Hominid&#x27;,
+    specimen : [
+        new CaveMan(&#x27;Ed&#x27;,new Date(1946,6,6))
+    ]
+};</pre>
+
+
+<h3>Thawing from the inside out and the <code>Date</code> instance</h3>
+<p>The reviver function passed to <code>JSON.parse</code> is applied to all key:value pairs in the raw parsed object from the deepest keys to the highest level.  In our case, this means that the <code>name</code> and <code>discovered</code> properties will be passed through the reviver, and <em>then</em> the object containing those keys will be passed through.</p>
+<p>We'll take advantage of this by watching for UTC formatted date strings (the default JSON serialization for Dates) and reviving them into proper <code>Date</code> instances before the containing object gets its turn in the reviver.</p>
+
+<pre class="code prettyprint">var example = {
+    dateRE : &#x2F;^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})(?:\.\d+)?Z$&#x2F;,
+
+    cryo : function (k,o) {
+        return (o instanceof CaveMan) ? CaveMan.freeze(o) : o;
+    },
+    revive : function (k,v) {
+        &#x2F;&#x2F; Turn anything that looks like a UTC date string into a Date instance
+        var match = Y.Lang.isString(v) ? v.match(example.dateRE) : null,
+            d;
+
+        if (match) {
+            d = new Date();
+            d.setUTCFullYear(match[1], (match[2] - 1), match[3]);
+            d.setUTCHours(match[4], match[5], match[6]);
+            return d;
+        }
+        &#x2F;&#x2F; Check for cavemen by the _class key
+        if (v instanceof Object &amp;&amp; v._class == &#x27;CaveMan&#x27;) {
+            return CaveMan.thaw(v);
+        }
+        &#x2F;&#x2F; default to returning the value unaltered
+        return v;
+    }
+};</pre>
+
+
+<p>Now when the reviver function is evaluating the object it determines to be a CaveMan, the <code>discovered</code> property is correctly containing a <code>Date</code> instance.</p>
+
+<h3>Choose your serialization</h3>
+<p>You'll note there are two freeze and thaw operations going on in this example.  One for our CaveMan class and one for <code>Date</code> instances.  Their respective serialization and recreation techniques are very different.  You are free to decide the serialized format of your objects.  Choose whatever makes sense for your application.</p>
+<p><em>Note</em>: There is no explicit <code>Date</code> serialization method listed inline because <code>JSON</code> natively supports <code>Date</code> serialization.   However, it is outside the scope of the parser's duty to create Date instances, so it's up to you to recreate them in the <code>parse</code> phase.  Feel free to use the method included here.</p>
+
+<h3>Show and Tell</h3>
+<p>Now we add the event handlers to the example buttons to call <code>JSON.stringify</code> and <code>parse</code> with our <code>example.cryo</code> and <code>example.revive</code> methods, respectively.</p>
